Frequently Asked Questions 

What is Cochinita Pibil?

Cochinita Pibil is a traditional dish native to Mérida, Yucatán. It is traditionally prepared by slow-roasting vegan pork and marinating it in an acid citrus juice with annatto seed which gives it a distinct orange color. Asante has blessed us with a vegan twist on this classic by using plant-based meat filets made from wheat gluten and pea protein.
